Linen is a natural fabric made of fibers from the stems of the flax plant, an incredibly sustainable and versatile plant. Unlike cotton and processed fabrics, linen is a strong fabric that softens with use, rather than deteriorating after a few seasons of wear. However, this particular fabric is prone to constant wrinkling, even when you follow the wash and dry instructions. Lucky for you, the natural wrinkling of linen is just a universal truth, so it’s not a big deal if your outfit has a few creases in it!
